Specialized Nutrition for Wound Healing with Specific Nutrients for Tissue Repair

Abintra® is a specialized nutritional supplement specifically formulated to provide patients with nutrients that will promote wound healing. Abintra® contains a combination of arginine, glutamine, whey protein and antioxidant vitamins and minerals in therapeutic amounts to promote tissue synthesis and wound healing.

Arginine (7 g)

Collagen precursor that promotes wound healing.

Glutamine (7 g)

Nourishes fast-replicating cells and stimulates protein synthesis.

High biological value protein (5 g)

Helps meet increased protein requirements and promotes protein synthesis.

Zinc (15 mg)

Essential for tissue repair, cell growth & and collagen synthesis.

Vitamin B6 (2 mg)

It participates as a cofactor in amino acid metabolism and in protein synthesis.

Vitamin B12 (6 mcg)

Important for healthy red blood cells and adequate wound oxygenation.

Vitamin A (5000 UI)

Promotes cell differentation and collagen synthesis.

Vitamin E (30 UI)

Protects cells againts free radicals and facilitates wound healing by improving the immune response.

Copper (2 mcg)

Important co-factor for collagen synthesis.

Vitamin C (500 mg)

Essential co-factor in collagen synthesis and important antioxidant that protects new cells and tissue.

Selenium (70 mcg)

Antioxidant that protects the membranes of newly formed cells.

Recommendations

Tissue regeneration

Pressure ulcers

Venous insufficiency ulcers

Surgical wounds

Diabetic Foot

Oral

Mix contents of one packet with 210 mL (7oz) of water and stir is completely dissolved. Refrigerate any unused portion and consume within 24 hours.

Bolus Feeding

Mix contents of one packet with 60 mL (2oz) of water and stir until powder is completely dissolved. Administer via syringe through feeding tube. Flush tube with 30-60 mL (1-2 oz) water before and after administration.

• 7 g of Arginine, collagen precursor that promotes wound healing (Ahujana 2007, De Luis 2007) • 7 g of Glutamine, which nourishes fast-replicating cells and stimulates protein synthesis (Schoemann 2007) • 5 g of high biological value whey protein, to help patients meet their increased protein requirements (Legendre 2008) • Vitamin A, which promotes fibroblast differentiation and collagen synthesis and reduces wound infections (De Luis 2007) • Vitamin C, essential co-factor in collagen synthesis and important antioxidant that protects the health of new cells and tissue (Tanaka 2007) • Vitamin E, which protects cells against free radicals and facilitates wound healing by improving the immune response (De Luis 2007, Gottschlich 2007) • Vitamin B12, which helps maintain adequate levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which is necessary for adequate wound oxygenation (Baumgartner 2007) • Copper, important co-factor in enzymes involved in collagen synthesis (Baumgartner 2007, De Luis 2007) • Selenium, antioxidant that protects the membranes of newly formed cells against lipid peroxidation (Baumgartner 2007) • Zinc, important component of metaloprotein co-enzymes that are essential in tissue repair and promotes cell proliferation and growth (Baumgartner 2007, National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel 2009, De Luis 2007)
